Pregnant Anne Hathaway Reveals How She Prepared for End of Oak Street

“It Follows is one of my favorite movies that I’ve seen in, I don’t know, this century,” she gushed of the 2014 horror. “I know that sounds really hyperbolic, but I just thought it was so inventive, and I was blown away by what he did with his talent and imagination and creativity and ingenuity on a movie that had no budget whatsoever, and it left a huge impression on me.”

The 43-year-old continued, “So, I asked if I could meet him after I saw it, and after we met, I just said, ‘Well, if you ever have anything that you think I’d be in any way right for, I’d be honored to be one of your movies.’ And then this one came out.”

And fans will get to see that decade-long admiration come to fruition on Aug. 14, when Hathaway and McGregor take on a bunch of dinosaurs to protect their kids.
